Abysmal 00:59
Human, fucking human. Useless, fucking useless. Human, fucking human. Useless, fucking useless. We are our biggest threat, our minds are the problem. Induced into suffering, a slave to a mind forever muttering. Step into this shallow grave, welcome to The Pale Hollow.

Contention 01:59
Dead to the world, leave me to be. Scratch out my eyes so that I can no longer see. Stab me in the neck, please help me to breath. Bleed me to death, relieve me of my agony. There is no life inside the bowels of the dark. I'd rather just die, feast on my body & tear me apart. Life will cease, one with the dirt. I don't want to survive the night just to see the sun rise. The endless cycle of defeat, wave after wave crashes against me as I fall from my feet. I hate the voice of which you speak. So much so that I'll rip it from your fucking throat. I'll be here until I watch you choke on words of bile, before we enter the black on our shattered knees. I will watch the mire consume you, become one with everlasting gloom. No scream is long enough to warrant escape from this unforgiving tomb.

Aching, fading, violent pains, here I lie waiting. In the darkest depths of despair is where you'll find me, lost inside my own head, please come find me. Shaking, detiroating, how do I know there's something wrong with me, am I just faking? Insinuating, exterminate me, have I lost my brain, am I going insane? When does this horror stop? Break my spine & shatter my body clock. Wasps inside my head & spiders in my throat. Parasite take over me, find my body next to my death note. Burn me. Kill me. End me. Let me fucking die. In a state of paralyzing panic, narcosis is induced. Beckoning out in utter agony, please just let me be. We take pleasure in our calculations, manipulating algorithms, breeding devastation. We devour the ones we love, just a puppet to the strings of imagination. But when push comes to shove, when there's no one to love, we fall short & revert to a society of discord.

Belligerence bred within a shell, my body begins to ache & swell. Contorting my skin & devouring my will, the cold wrapped around me, insatiable hunger. Biting my tongue for a glimpse of the sun, torn apart by the frost, kept in fear by the gloom. I can't wait to be buried six feet under, oh how I long to be entombed. Peering through the murk & feeding off the dust, this is the end of my humanity, this is the end of all of us. This body is a vessel condemned to agony, my mind sentenced to be forever lost. Suspended in time, a monument to all our failure's left to wither & whine. Robbed of my humanity, another scar on the face of this planet. Now they all stand and fall before the gates of perdition and weep As the world is serenaded far and wide by the sounds of the innocent screams A choir of agony. A lullaby to sing the human race to sleep Performed solely for these damned to dream And they shall finally succumb, comatose for eternity.

Vestige 04:21
Shrouded in scorn, cast aside & forlorn. Through the vermin & bile you will find what you seek. Insanity stretches in silence. This land lies abandoned of any previous likeness, the cycle repeats. Asphyxiated by the hiss of the serpent, the cold voice calls to me, I am the lord of these vermin. I am pestilence. I am disease. The price of eminence, it seems everything will pay for this flaw I do not believe in the end Maybe I will finally see what lies beyond. A place where I can feel the void clear my head. But this is nothing like what we imagined, this is a land of the dead. Maybe we have always been wrong “Did our lives actually happen? "Is my sanity gone?" "Did anything ever exist in the first place?" " Is life its own mistake?” My nightmares beckon me as we lay to sleep, at the end of days slowly starting to weep. There is no end, no point to define a halt in time What exists begins to slowly fade; reverse to before it began to die. New life cannot bloom in these fields of death, embrace the sweet breath of annihilation. From the heart of the beast spawns forth a return to darkness Revoking the gift of life from which the unknown gave us I'll watch the light leave your eyes, the shrill scream marks the end of all life. Give into the darkness, give into the blight.

Euthanizer 02:43
A desperate cry for help, a stutter in confusion. Everyone I know calls me insane or deluded. Do you know what it's like to be alone in this head? To want to end it all & just give up the fucking ghost. The voices sing to me, daring me to just go to sleep & dream. I can't say no. My body begins to shake to & fro, dipping into the eb & flow that is this sickness, battiling my self yet again. The cold hallways call out to me, do I dare answer or dare I not speak. For each whisper provides a horror to see, I retreat to the walls of my skull, lock the door & hide the key. There is nothing to stop the voices from entering, no barricades, slowly monsters appear. I beckon & plead, I deny their existence but each step I take I find only resistance. Stuck to the walls inside my own head, I try gouge out my eyes oh how I wish I was dead. They say if you wish to leave this god forbidden earth, you'll hang yourself only after lighting up this institution first. I cry out in agony, how could this happen to me. Another person on this planet doomed forever to weep. I can't move my limbs & I can't feel my feet, I look down just to see these intruders retreat. Picking at my flesh & devouring my tendons, I'm screaming out in pure pain "why don't you hurry up & end us" "We don't want to end you or to take your possessions, we're merely just the antagonist of your elusive minds invention" I awake inside my dormant silent room, other people just like me spread throughout these padded tombs. I want to end this disease I want to end it tonight, do I dare do what they tell me? Is it all real? Is this right? Once a man, now a freak I have no place to call home. My own mind denys me right to call my body home. I'll burn this place to the ground for every one to see, I'm not crazy this is just how they said it must be.
